Editorial Reviews

Face sores and severed ears ago, Deadpool was unleashed on the Marvel universe to rid the world of U.S. presidents raised from the dead and wreaking havoc on earth. In an over-the-top punch-up written by Duggan (Attack of the Show!) and comedian-actor Posehn, cult-favorite Deadpool gets the Marvel NOW! treatment, and this first collection does not disappoint. The premise is as simple as it is humorous: Deadpool is reluctantly commissioned by the global police force, S.H.I.E.L.D., to locate and rekill zombie presidents magically reborn, thanks to a misguided patriotic necromancer. A classic Deadpool comic comes preloaded with quips, banter, and revelry, but what makes this book truly shine is the intricate artwork by Moore (The Walking Dead, v.1, 2006). Moore’s elaborate spreads are often full of multiple moving parts with detail to spare, but he manages it all without the art feeling cramped. Duggan and Posehn provide an undead playground for Moore to sketch, from a bare-knuckle boxing match with Abe Lincoln to a zero-gravity romp with Nixon in space. This book should come with a ripcord. --Ben Spanner

A "confused" man brings back all dead presidents to help fix this country. Problem is when they came back they came back very powerful and very mad. No "heros" wanted to be seen fighting ex presidents so they ask Deadpool to do it. SHIELD offers him a very nice sum of money to do it. Of course he does and ends up working with a very professional agent, Ben Franklin's ghost, and Dr. Strange. The fight even leads him to space for a short time. He ends up with a new "voice" in his head before all said and done. And during this fight they find there might be a dirty high ranking SHIELD agent up to A LOT of no good.

This being my first foray into the Deadpool series, I went in open minded. Although I found myself laughing at several of the jokes that the Merc with a Mouth landed, that was the main problem with this book; I wasn't laughing enough. Many of the jokes tend to fall flat and I would be okay with this if the story made up for it, but unfortunately it's all over the place and rather boring. As for the 3 star rating, I am not one to not give credit where it is due. The art in this book is fantastic and it has to be to showcase the over the top violence that Deadpool is famous for. I wish that the jokes and story were of that caliber.

With the upcoming Deadpool movie, there's been a lot of interest in Deadpool comics. The 2012 series is a great place for a new reader to start. The art is fantastic, the story is hilarious, and there's even a number of history jokes that had me in the floor laughing. It's smart, it's funny, it's Deadpool at his best! I love how Posehn and Duggan approach the character and where they take him on the journey throughout their run. In particular I loved Agent Preston, Deadpool's reluctant partner. When you've done this run, go back to the Classic Deadpool series and work your way forward from there.

I've been a huge Deadpool fan since his first solo series in the late 90's. This new take on the character is a lot of fun, very creative, and a nice divergence from standard hero books. The only downside is that for the first few issues it feels like the writer is still trying to figure out the 'voice' of the character, and often tries just a little too hard to make him funny. Many of the early jokes feel forced and unnecessary. As funny and silly as Deadpool and his stories can be, what makes him a strong character is that he can be serious, dark, and just as efficient as any hero or villain in the Marvel Universe. Overall, this is a good book and sets the stage for better stories to follow.

Well after watching the movie I figured I should grab a comic or two to really get a grasp on this Deadpool fella. I really had no idea what I was in for. Assassination jokes, possession jokes, far jokes. This collection had everything. At one point an elephant gets taken out for no good reason. Classic Deadpool. 5 out of 5. Will read twice.
